Effects of eye surgery on OCT measurements

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates how refractive surgeries, such as Lasik, impact optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements in the eye. It focuses on patients with myopia who are at risk of developing conditions like myopic maculopathy or glaucoma, which require OCT monitoring. The study aims to understand the potential changes in OCT parameters following refractive surgery, as previous research has shown mixed results regarding the effects of altered refractive status on OCT outcomes. By analyzing these changes, the study seeks to provide insights into the reliability of OCT measurements post-surgery.
